Byzantion

"Byzantion is a qualified linguist and historian, with further
academic background in political sociology. He has worked as a translator,
teacher, music journalist, political editor, book dealer, IT technician,
farmer and builder. He lives with his family deep in the Scottish countryside
in blissful anonymity. He is fluent in many European languages, including
Gaelic, Irish and Welsh. He listens to around 1000 new recordings of
art music a year, is equally interested in music from all eras (from
medieval to ultra-modernist), and against the modern tendency loathes
anything that is not art or traditional music - vehemently rejecting
the popular idea that listening to pop, rock or jazz as well is equivalent
to being broadminded. Two of his children are composers and multi-instrumentalists."

use his surname -Len Mullenger]
